This fine family house occupies a quiet and attractive setting close to the 11th century parish church of St Mary's and the historic Pyrton Manor. To the rear there are fine extended views over the neighbouring parkland of Shirburn Castle. The house is set back from the road behind a deep driveway that provides ample parking and access to the detached double garage. A mature garden lies to the rear. The interior is well-planned with generally spacious rooms. Of particular note is the extended family kitchen with ample dining area and the double reception room with a modern inglenook fireplace and French doors opening to the garden. On the first floor the master bedroom extends to the full depth of the house providing a dressing area and an en-suite shower room. There are thought to be opportunities to extend the house, subject to obtaining the necessary building and planning consents.
